I'm a big coffee drinker. I drink 5 or 6 cups daily easily. Giving up coffee is going to be very hard for me. Some people have comfort food. I find my comfort in coffee. A cup of coffee is magic in a cup. That first sip first thing in the morning of that freshly brewed pipping hot coffee is pure goodness. Yep I have a huge probelm on my hands.

Whats the best earbuds I can get to cancel out the noise from the room? I know when you first have the surgery you want to sleep and the noise of people constanly walking in and out can wake you up in the hospital, especially if you are a light sleeper like me. I'm looking something that cancels out as much noise as possible. Thanks

I have a question for you guys.... I've started drinking Protein shakes (Premier Protein) but becasue of the Iron in the shakes they constipate me. Do any of you have had this issue with your shakes? If so what has helped you?

@@butterfly23 where do you buy the tea? I'll try it. I've been using Benefiber but it's not working as I would like.

I got got my blood work back and the Bariatric team says my Vitamin D and B12 are low. They suggested I buy the Vitamin D they sell. Did you guys buy a specific vitamin brand or a specific milligrams? I still have about 3 months before the surgery.

Best Tasting Protein Shake
motherboard replied to charley27's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like Premier. I mix mine with ice and a few pieces of Fruit. It's actually not bad at all. -
I agree. If you have short term take it. I'm taking 6 weeks. I know it sounds a bit much but I have short term and I'm going to take advantage of it. The best place to get better is at home. You will be dealing with a lot of changes both physically and emotionally.

My surgeon says no protein supplements until week 5. Does this sound right to you?

I'm half way to getting the surgery approved. I still need 3 more weight management visits. But I did have the conversation with my doctor already and he told me after day 2 after the surgery he wants me on Protein shakes. Why your doctor wants to wait 2 weeks is wierd. Protein is very important. -
Does anyone recommend a good heating pad? I know a heating pad is going to be essential. I was wondering if you found a good quality one.

Anyone dreading being alone in hospital?
motherboard replied to reachbree's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with everyone. Taking time for yourself is the most important thing. You will be home soon enough. If you don't use those 2 days to recover properly you won't be worth anythign when you do go home. -
@Dub what Protein shakes do you use?
-
Staywell requires you to have a 6mts weight management program. Does it have to be consecutive? Or can it be 6 month visit in the last 2 years? I called the insurance company but they couldn't give me that information.
-
How much weight do you need to loose before the surgery? At the first consultation my doctor told me I cannot gain anymore weight. He wants me to loose some. I was wondering how much weight have you lost in the 6 month process? Since the first consultaton until the day of surgery.

The worst is going to be all the rumors. That's why I'm keeping quite as much as possible. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App -

I'm having the same issue. I don't want to tell anyone at work. I. Doing my fmla directly through hr. I don't want my sup involved. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App -
How long are you guys taking off work? I'm planing to take 6 weeks, I was wondering if that is too much? I'm not sure what to expect after surgery.
-
Thank you MissMac I think it will be wise to take the time. I have the short term dis at work that will cover it as well. Thanks @KristenLe I think the time off will be great both mentally and physically. 6 weeks doesn't seem too far off wack anymore.
-
Yeah 2 weeks seem to be average but I have also read how people feel tired after a few weeks. Thats what I'm scared about the most. I don't want to feel like that at work. So if some people take 4 weeks off than 6 weeks don't seem too crazy.

I can't wait to hear those magic words... lol Congrats
